Transient radio bursts from rotating neutron stars
M. A. McLaughlin, A. G. Lyne, D. R. Lorimer +11
The `radio sky' is relatively unexplored for transient signals, although the potential of radio-transient searches is high, as demonstrated recently by the discovery of a previousl…
The young, highly relativistic binary pulsar J1906+0746
D. R. Lorimer, I. H. Stairs, P. C. C. Freire +33
We report the discovery of PSR J1906+0746, a young 144-ms pulsar in a highly relativistic 3.98-hr orbit with an eccentricity of 0.085 and expected gravitational wave coalescence ti…
Arecibo Pulsar Survey Using ALFA. I. Survey Strategy and First Discoveries
J. M. Cordes, P. C. C. Freire, D. R. Lorimer +21
We report results from the initial stage of a long-term pulsar survey of the Galactic plane using the Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA), a seven-beam receiver operating at 1.4 GHz w…
Getting Its Kicks: A VLBA Parallax for the Hyperfast Pulsar B1508+55
S. Chatterjee, W. H. T. Vlemmings, W. F. Brisken +7
The highest velocity neutron stars establish stringent constraints on natal kicks, asymmetries in supernova core collapse, and the evolution of close binary systems. Here we presen…
Pulsar Astrometry at the Microarcsecond Level
W. H. T. Vlemmings, S. Chatterjee, W. F. Brisken +12
Determination of pulsar parallaxes and proper motions addresses fundamental astrophysical questions. We have recently finished a VLBI astrometry project to determine the proper mot…
Arecibo timing and single-pulse observations of 17 pulsars
D. J. Champion, D. R. Lorimer, M. A. McLaughlin +6
We report on timing and single-pulse observations of 17 pulsars discovered at the Arecibo observatory. The highlights of our sample are the recycled pulsars J1829+2456, J1944+0907…
A 2.1 Solar Mass Pulsar Measured by Relativistic Orbital Decay
David J. Nice, Eric M. Splaver, Ingrid H. Stairs +4
PSR J0751+1807 is a millisecond pulsar in a circular 6 hr binary system with a helium white dwarf secondary. Through high precision pulse timing measurements with the Arecibo and E…
Pulsars as Tools for Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics
J. M. Cordes, M. Kramer, T. J. W. Lazio +3
The sheer number of pulsars discovered by the SKA, in combination with the exceptional timing precision it can provide, will revolutionize the field of pulsar astrophysics. The SKA…
